MI Rule - The 12 Lead Solution to 12 Lead Confusion!

The only 12 Lead - 3D Infarction Template. MI Rule Visions® is an innovative, clinically proven tool, making recognition of STEMI and ischemia location in a 12 lead ECG rapid and simple. This handheld template has movable waveforms to show all 12 leads as they appear normal, ischemic, and in injury. This is a critical reference to have on hand for 12 lead ECGs!

These color-coded templates contain a wealth of information including AHA/ACC guidelines for UA/NSTEMI/STEMI, reciprocal changes, culprit arteries, cardiac markers, lead placement and waveform norms, and other critical references.

Clinically Significant Tool: MI Rule Visions® study data was presented orally at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions on November 14, 2006. This data validated MI Rule Visions® as a "statistically and CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT TOOL" for increasing the ability to identify ST elevation or depression in a 12 lead ECG!

For 15 and 18 lead ECGs. Isolates right-sided and posterior infarcts. Includes guidelines for obtaining tracings, suggested treatment pathways for RV infarcts and other references.

Heart Failure - Focused is designed for direct-care nurses and other clinical staff involved in the care of heart failure patients.

This program is a spin-off from Heart Failure - ComprehensiveTM with just the right amount of required annual education for accreditation, without asking clinicians to devote a great deal of time.

imPULSE 2.0

imPULSE 2.0® ECG and Chest Pain Competency Series is an eight-level, web-based educational series designed for all levels of staff, from monitor techs to physicians.

imPULSE 2.0 is the only program meeting all key educational elements required annually for Accreditation by the ACC Accreditation Services.

Sepsis Courseware

SEPSIS 2.0 - A SYSTEMIC RESPONSE

Sepsis is a huge challenge for hospitals across the United States as it impacts patient mortality, patient outcomes, and hospital costs.

Sepsis 2.0 - A Systemic ResponseTM is a competency series that delivers relevant, best practice content that reinforces your hospital's sepsis initiatives, educating staff to improve outcomes, support CMS quality measures, and ensure everyone is sepsis-knowledgeable and sepsis-competent.

All ancillary and professional staff must be trained to recognize and respond to potential sepsis cases. To meet this need, the first course was designed specifically for all non-clinical staff and subsequent courses for healthcare professionals.

Neuro/Stroke Courseware

Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death and the leading cause of serious long-term disability in the United States.

In caring for stroke patients, practitioners must be qualified and competent to quickly recognize and appropriately treat individuals presenting with stroke signs and symptoms.

NIHSS – Developed by the National Institutes of Health, the NIH Stroke Scale educational program is a series of training videos developed to help clinicians measure the patient’s status after an acute stroke.

MI Rule

MI Rule Visions

Years ago, a computer generated 12 lead ECG interpretation for a female in her early 40's, (in no apparent distress as she read a magazine), reported “Normal Sinus Rhythm”, when the patient was actually having an MI!

Realizing computers are only as accurate as the human who programmed them, a 3D template to improve understanding was born. Trialed at an AMI course, MI Rule Visions was a hit! Many said, "It turned the light bulb on and they finally understood!”
